The secretary made the opinion while addressing a view exchange meeting with traders at leather industry in Savar on Saturday.

He said, the issue of damaging rawhide is not the overall picture of the country. Rawhides have been preserved accordingly in other areas.

Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) is running in Savar tannery. Tanneries collect half of the annual requirement of the country's leather industry during Qurbani. So, the tanneries will run in full swing in the next two or three months.
